7.88 - 5.01=12.89.
12.89/5.01 * 100= 57.
12.89/5.01 * 100= 57.

According to me, the calculation done is wrong, the method and the numbers selected are correct but the correct answer is 57% and not 36%.
I have cross-checked and done the calculation more than once.
Someone, please verify as well.

Because it is written what percent less than shampoo so we took it in the denominator.

Because it has asked for by what percent it is less. So here the formula would be,
=> ((Big value - Small Value) / Small value) * 100.
If this is the case where it was asked by what percent it is greater, the answer might have been,
=> (7.88 - 5.01 / 5.01) * 100.
=> ((Big value - Small Value) / Small value) * 100.
If this is the case where it was asked by what percent it is greater, the answer might have been,
=> (7.88 - 5.01 / 5.01) * 100.
